Based on the “New York Times” bestselling book by the same title, “Marley & Me” follows the life of John Grogan and his family, and the many trials they face with their Labrador, Marley.
John and Jenny Grogan have no idea what’s in store for them when they bring home puppy Marley. Soon, Marley grows in to a large, out of control dog that’s always causing hilarious, but awkward trouble.
Directed by David Frankel, “Marley & Me” is entertaining for the whole family at only a PG rating. Many scenes made me laugh out loud, as well as cry. Even though I’ve never owned a dog, I felt that the development of Marley throughout the years was very accurate. While the cast was not very large, both the main actors, Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, portrayed John and Jenny immensely well.
I have yet to read the book, but I believe that the movie accurately captured the story. I definitely have plans to read the book in the near future.
“Marley & Me” is now available on DVD, so make sure you see it! It’s definitely a movie worth watching.

ReplyDeleteAlthough some parts are a little unrealistic, I really enjoyed watching the family slowly grow and change. I agree with Lindsay, see this movie!
